Quadaffi has all of his presentation pieces on display at the Red Palace in Tripoli. As you would expect -- all over the top with decoration.

Quadaffi also has some US War Souvenirs that need to be returned to the US.
1. Mast of the USS Philadelphia on display at the Red Palace
2. Wreckage of the Bomber "Lady Be Good" in Tobruk
Most importantly are the bodies of 4 US sailors killed at Tripoli in 1804. Not a single President, not a single Congressman in over 200 years has made any effort to return these men to their native soil.
However the country of Italy has removed the bodies of every fallen Italian soldier in Tripoli and returned them to Italy.

Interesting, where and how are the bodies interred at ?
I read the story of "Lady Be Good" some time back, very tragic.
